Smoker produces very little or no smoke even though it heats normally.

Safety first: Use heat‑resistant gloves when handling the wood tray.

Steps:

• Check wood tray: Ensure the Klarstein wood chip tray is correctly seated above or near the heating element as designed.
• Use proper chips: Use dry, small wood chips rather than large chunks or soaked wood, unless the manual specifies otherwise.
• Increase temperature: Start smoking at a slightly higher temperature to ignite chips, then reduce to your desired cooking temperature.
• Clean tray: Remove ash and carbon buildup from the tray so heat can reach new chips effectively.
